Dvaita philosophy of Madhvᾱcᾱrya is a popular one till today and  he is regarded as the founder of Vaishnava tradition of Indian philosophy. He has also shown the world that through devotion one can be blessed with the love of Lord Viṣṇu and also attain liberation. As a prolific writer, Madhvᾱcᾱrya wrote a number of works, of which thirty-seven have been collectively called Sarvamūla. Among his independent works Dvᾱdaṥa stotra is very famous. It is believed to have been composed by Madhva at the time of his acquisition of the image of Sri Kṛṣṇa, which is installed in the Matha of Udupi. According to Madhva Lord Viṣṇu is the Supreme Reality. He equates Brahman, the Supreme Being with Lord Viṣṇu. He states that Viṣṇu is not just any other Lord, but rather the singularly all-important Supreme Reality. Viṣṇu is always the primary object of worship, with all others regarded as subordinate to Him. In this stotra he also praises Lord Viṣṇu and explains the importance of Bhakti. An attempt is made in this paper to portray Viṣṇu and Viṣṇu Bhakti in Dvᾱdaṥa stotra.
